My sister who uses the beds would like me to get rid of the twins and get her son a double like he has at his house. I would like her two boys to sleep in the twins but since they don't share a room at their house they won't share a room at mine. Maybe I just should remove all the beds and give them blow ups for the basement. hahaMaryBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547321109503148189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-53160390414294781812010-06-05T23:35:07.739-04:002010-06-05T23:35:07.739-04:00A guest room is such a luxury and a room where one...A guest room is such a luxury and a room where one can push boundaries a touch.

Currently, our guest room is also my office and our son's playroom. And, the bed...oh yeah, that would be a fouton! Not too glamorous and definitely not enough space. But, in the next house....that'll be a whole different story!

To be honest, my parents have a double in their guest room at the moment and I'd rather a set of twins than having to share a double with my tall husband... If you really have the space, I love the idea of two doubles....my parents had this at their old house and it was nice.

One has a Queen, the other has twin trundles and a crib. The trundles are MUCH more flexible as accommodations. But I must say after having BEEN a guest so much. It's just nice to have clean sheets in ANY kind of bed! I've slept (or tried to) in doggy smelling blankets in a cold room when I've been INVITED to visit!
